A Jonesborough man arrested this week on statutory rape charges now faces 37 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and two counts of sexual battery.

The new charges on Michael Joseph Clay, 48, 1645 Roy Phillips Rd., were filed late Wednesday and the warrant served on him in jail.

According to the warrant, Clay had sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl between Mother’s Day 2013 and July 4. He also is accused of sending the teen text photos of his penis at least 10 times and the girl sent Clay nude pictures of her as well.
